The Raveonettes - Wishing You A Rave Christmas EP

[oscillations.]

Recently awarded a 7.0 by Pitchfork -- not shabby for a novelty stopgap release -- this is the Danish act's 4th overall EP this year, and contains four bittersweet holiday tunes.

My favorite is their cover of "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)", which is a full-on, noise-drenched yet dulcet tour de force. Chilling and elegant.

Are we supposed to take the "rave" portion of the title as irony? ;)

Well, I can ask Sune. Funny, I just got done emailing him now, actually. ;)
I'm 99% sure it's just another tongue-in-cheek reference to their name, which itself is a reference to Buddy Holly's "Rave On".

Well, the name reference is obvious. It was just me trying by all means to relate rave to Christmas, my darling!

Typical e-pro ;)
